Welcome to Out-of-Touch

Today, while climbing at Malibu's Rock Pool, I dropped my fantastic phone that I paid a good $200 for over a year ago to the bottom of the lake. It is, needless to say, broken.

Now I will learn some new things. For example, my unexpected reliance on technology. I don't "adore" my phone or freak out if I leave it somewhere, but I was VERY pissed that it fell.

I am worried that somebody who needs to get a hold of me will be unable to, or that I will forget to do certain things because I have no calender or notepad. How do I remedy this?

Mostly, this makes me want to relearn to ride a bike well. Sounds off topic...but what piece of technology do I have that is less reliable than my phone? My jalopy. Poor jalopy, she is old and gives out all the time, so I would like to learn what my time constraints are on a bike so as to not find myself in the same pickle.
